Toby Rowland, the radio play-by-play voice of Oklahoma football, answered readers' questions about the Sooners during a live chat on Wednesday. Here are some highlights:

What worries you most about this team a few days before the opener?

Toby Rowland: The biggest concern for me would be on the defensive line. I'm eager to see if a defensive tackle can emerge that is a game changer. OU had a nice run of those with Tommie Harris and Dusty Dvoracek and Gerald McCoy. They need a guy who demands a double team and causes trouble in there. I hope David King or Jamarkus McFarland or Jordan Phillips can be that guy.

OU had rampant chemistry issues last fall, which showed up both on and off the field. Given the falloff of Jones's production without Broyles, how much do these two unresolved issues concern you?

Toby Rowland: Not at all. "Rampant" is a bit strong. They had some issues, but so does every team. And every quarterback's production would've dropped off if they lost the leading receiver in NCAA history. The emergence of the "Belldozer" also had something to do with Landry's numbers dipping. I don't see any issues with either subject.

Which of the players is the most enjoyable to talk to? Which one do you see in practice and think he sets the best example for the whole team?

Toby Rowland: Believe it or not...the punter. Tress Way is a fantastic interview. Great kid. Kenny Stills is always a good quote as well. Landry Jones and Gabe Ikard are probably the guys I'd say are the best example setters. Justin Brown is quickly becoming one of those guys as well.
